Mi.911 - 937 issued between 2nd February and 12th May 1946
Note on Mi.920: From Michel 'Germany Specialized 2015/2016'Â 2nd Ed. Vol. 2, 'Frequently the number or letters that were supposed to be white were tinted due to colour mix up.' Further research required.
Note of Mi.929. Michel states that the earliest known usage of Mi.929 is the 11th February 1946. The cancellation states 10th February (and on other postcards using this cancel the date is 9th February). This cancel was used for the FDGB trade union event held between 9th-11th February 1946. All philatelic material from this event appears to have been unaddressed and used for 'collectors' only. It is important to note that when Michel quotes 'cover prices' these 'prices are for properly franked items which have been legitimately carried through the postal system, and/or with additional postage applied to under-franked items.' Therefore, the date stamp does not apply to 'earliest usage'.
